A special thank you to Christi Hebert, Jeannie Martin, Kendall Broussard, and the entire DIBELS testing team for organizing and running such a smooth and efficient day for our End-of-Year DIBELS testing. Your hard work, dedication, and attention to detail truly made a difference, and we are so grateful for everything you did to ensure the testing went off without a hitch. Your efforts are deeply appreciated, and we are lucky to have such a wonderful team supporting our students and staff. Thank you for all you do! 🌟
🌺Assistant Principal Week🌺
This week is Assistant Principal’s Week, and I want to take a moment to recognize two truly amazing women—Mrs. Mary Hernandez, our Assistant Principal, and Mrs. Autumn Suire, our Disciplinarian.
Mrs. Mary is a constant source of support and guidance, always going the extra mile to make sure every student and staff member is taken care of. Her leadership and kindness create such a positive environment for all of us. Mrs. Autumn’s dedication and compassion shine through in everything she does, ensuring that our school remains a place of respect and growth for everyone.
These two women do so much behind the scenes, and I’m incredibly grateful for all they do. I couldn’t ask for better support, and I am so fortunate to have them as my right and left hand. Please join me in celebrating Mrs. Mary and Mrs. Autumn this week—they make a real difference in our school every day. 🌟

Discipline Data
March 2024- 45 Major Office Referrals
March 2025- 20 Major Office Referrals
One of our goals this year is to decrease the number of major office discipline referrals from students. Please continue to help us reinforce expectations at CPE to ensure a safe and welcoming environment to all students. Shout out to Prek, Kindergarten, second, and fourth grade for having zero referrals for the month of March! Way to go!!!
Let’s continue to spotlight and positively reinforce the behaviors we want to see. Respectful hallway movement, safe choices at recess, good manners at lunch, engaged learning in the classroom, and responsible behavior on the bus. A consistent, positive message from all of us will help students stay on track and motivated to do their best.
LEAP Practice Tests 24-25
In order to provide students with another opportunity to practice using the online tools for LEAP testing, we will administer the ELA and math practice test in DRC. Previously, reports were not provided for the practice test in DRC but that has changed. You will now have access to reports on student responses.
LEAP Practice Test 2024-2025
Grades 3 and 4 will complete the ELA and Math practice test in DRC on April 14 nd 15.
These practice assessments are to provide the students with a simulated experience of the LEAP 2025 assessment. This allows the teachers to remind students of test taking strategies that they should be using. (A time for teachers to tell the students what they would want to say during the real test but can't.)

Purpose :
Provide students with the opportunity to experience testing in ELA and math in timed sessions.
Provide teachers the opportunity, during the practice test sessions, to give students feedback and guidance on the process of testing, not content. Teachers should emphasize testing strategies, directions, and instructions.
The Practice Test is not to be used as a grade.
The Science Practice test can be given on Monday, April 28. The science practice test is in Pear Assessment for both grades 3 and 4.
There is currently no social studies practice test.

EOY Google Meets
Please mark your calendars and plan to attend the EOY Google Meet for your grade level. This is an excellent place for you to share feedback for the year for curriculum and learning.
Classroom Rostering
Teachers, we are in the process of creating a schedule for grade-level teams to meet and discuss student placement for the upcoming year. To prepare for this, each teacher will need to complete a placement card for every student in your class (pink for girls, blue for boys). The cards will be placed in your box this week, and we ask that they be completed by the time we meet in May. We are still finalizing the May calendar, but this discussion will likely take place during the second-to-last or last week of school.
The goal is to balance the caseloads across grade levels. Special education resource teachers will need to be present for these meetings.
We value your insight and expertise in understanding your students, and we appreciate your help in creating balanced caseloads. (Please note: 5th grade teachers do not need to complete this.) Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
Easter Parties
Class Easter parties will take place on Thursday, April 17th. You will need to schedule your party around nap, AMPEL, etc in the afternoon. Please make sure to send home a flyer this week for class parties to give parents enough time to purchase treats.
Progress Reports
Progress report grades must be posted by April 17th at the end of the day. We will not send home progress reports again this nine weeks. Rather a message will be shared through JCampus messaging and on Facebook stating that progress report grades are posted and parents can go to Student Progress Center to check their child's grades. This message will be scheduled to send on April 17th. Minimum of 3 grades are required for all subjects except 1st and 2nd grade Social Living which must have 2 grades.
Finalizing SLTs
We are ready to begin finalizing many SLTs! Once the third benchmark assessment is administered in grades 1–5, you will have five days to grade the assessments and enter the data into your SLT recording sheet. Please place the completed sheet in the black box for review. Admin will go over the data and return the sheet to you, at which point you may enter the information into the LES platform. We are also ready to finalize fluency SLTs. After all make-ups have been completed, enter your data into your fluency spreadsheet and report the results on your SLT in LES. Once everything is entered, email your evaluator so we can complete the process on our end!
